President Obama’s peace plan for the Middle East calls for Israel to go back to its borders before the 1967 war. In that war, the Arab states attacked Israel from all sides but were route. Israel seized the rest of Jerusalem, the West Bank, and other regions–originally all the way to the border with Egypt, though much of that land has been given back. But Israel has retained a buffer for its own security.

So are the Arab states less hostile to Israel now than they were in 1967?
